At long last
I finally wore the Butterick 5917 dress today. I took some photos before work and because the dress is such a dark navy blue it is hard for you to see some of the details. You have seen some of the details in previous posts.
I chose to use the longer sleeves with this dress but did not want the ruffles. I like ruffles but not a lot of ruffles. The great thing about wearing the dress today was I had a meeting with the Executive Committee of our board of directors and this dress did not wrinkle heavily. Some wrinkling which was to be expected; that was to be my wearability test and it passed!

I received several compliments today about the dress. I think it is a style that suits various figure shapes. I think I will probably make another one. The first version was a summer one and I have yet to wear it; it will have to wait for next summer. This is now more fabric used from the fabric stash.

I am glad you got compliments today Linda - they are very well deserved. This is such a lovely dress - classic but feminine too. I am going to make it as well. I'm off to look at your summer version now...
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah!
DeleteLove it! How super you look in this dress ~ hope my one turns out just as pretty ... J
ReplyDeleteA bit hard to see, but it looks great! A great fit!
ReplyDeleteI need to figure out how to lighten it so you can see details. There are some earlier posts that show work in progress and how the ruffles look.
DeleteLooks like a great fit. I'm anxious to try this pattern; so many have made such pretty interpretations.
ReplyDeleteI think different fabrics give this dress a casual or dressy look.
DeleteI rely love this dress on you. Black is a good colour for you IMO.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie-Noelle
ReplyDeleteThese dresses do look so good on you. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress in on of my favorite ever patterns! You look lovely and I'm not surprised at all by the many compliments you received! Good job :)
Thank you! When I saw your first version I was sold on this pattern.
DeleteThis is incredibly flattering on you! It emphasizes your figure but is still completely professional. Now that you have perfected it you really must make more.
ReplyDeleteI want to come in your underwear
